Disconnect to Reconnect

Soak up the surrounding grand vistas and hike through native forest and alpine grasslands. Enjoy a gentle climb to a secluded picnic spot by the river, or merely meander along the valley floors. Home to several rare flora species, Owhaoko land is also the headwaters to several pristine rivers perfect for swimming.

Enjoy a stunning sunrise over morning coffee on the balcony, curl up in the outdoor egg chair and listen to the burbling stream below, fill the outdoor bathtub for two, watch the sun set over the Kaimanawa Range, and finish off the day gathered around the cosy fireplace.

Winning entrant will receive:

Three days and two nights hosted private stay at our exclusive wilderness cabin for two people on over 4,000 acres of pristine native bush.

Your host will welcome you to the land, prepare and serve all meals – menu prepared based on winner’s dietary requirements – and keep the cabin clean and tidy as well as be available for any questions or requests you may have at the staff accomodation discretely located ~50 meters from the cabin.

A perfect opportunity to relax, explore nature and reconnect with someone special.
